Bitcoin is Antifragile: Nassim Taleb's "Antifragile" Part 2 w/ Mike Kelly

Episode Summary

What does it mean to be antifragile, and why does Bitcoin fit the definition better than anything else? Michael Kelly returns to continue our discussion of Nassim Taleb’s “Antifragile”: we explore the gap between invention and implementation, the arrogance of academic models, the elegance of Bitcoin’s design, the difference between “street-smarts” and “book-smarts, the role of leisure in driving progress, and how true antifragility emerges through practice, not theory. Michael J Kelly III, is a producer and creative strategist with a passion for natural science and the intersection of politics and biology.
